Changing
Materials Cycle

Everything around us is made from a material, a resource that has evolved over time through science. Whether in its original, raw state, or a formula of precious elements that make up the final product, we identify key opportunities at every stage of the material life cycle, which includes new solutions to end-of-life upcycling or new methods to recycling.

Advanced Manufacturing

With strong policies supporting tech manufacturing, China’s manufacturing industry will undergo a transformational upgrade. We’re interested in innovative startups in the advanced manufacturing sector: robotics, 3D printing, laser processing, advanced components, automation, etc.

Energy Transformation

As humanity reduces its dependency of fossil fuels, the world is turning to sustainable, renewable energy sources to help resolve climate change. Hydrogen fuel, solar power and bio-energy are a few areas where great strides in innovation are taking place and becoming part of the circular economy – and where we’ve invested into.

Environment & Sustainability

Global policies are taking a greater focus on environmental responsibility and sustainability. More conglomerates consciously taking steps to ensure Earth’s precious resources – water, air, land – are respected and restored. Carbon capture utilization & storage (CCUS), for example, supports decarbonization efforts to prevent global warming – just one of the flagships of our venture.

What type of startups do we look out for?
